Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Manning, Rodgers, and Montana all look pretty consistent. Brady and Brees with a slight uptick. I wonder how much of that is attributes to rule changes though. [Reply]

I think it’s mostly related to the mental side of the game. The game really slows down for those QBs once they reach their 30s. They’ve seen it all and done it all, they know every defensive look in the book and how to counter things faster. [Reply]
Pugs is correct. The prime for most “good” QBs is 29-33.
QB is the most mental position in all of sports. It requires maturity and experience to be at an elite level. The Hall of Famers tend to get it down quicker. 26 years old range.
Big difference between instinctive positions and mental positions. For example a RB can step in day one and succeed. Same for a CB. Those are instinctive positions primarily. [Reply]
I personally love the Favre comparisons. Athletically and the ability to improvise I think that is correct but that's where the comparison stops. However he has things Favre never had. Mahomes is Favre with a brain and work ethic. [Reply]

Favre wasn't just some dumb hillbilly who threw 100s of interceptions
Favre built himself into the best player in the game in the mid 90s, winning 3 straight MVPs and a Superbowl. Athletic, quick, strong, tough. [Reply]

It’s one that meshes right in with the idea that he’d say no to a local car dealership or two. Over the course of the season last year, Mahomes would look to get extra work in after practice, since his reps became sparse when the real games began. But he’d never ask the front-line guys, like Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelce or Albert Wilson to go with him. Instead he’d get backups to run routes for him. Why? Because he didn’t want to create any sort of appearance that he was gunning for Alex Smith’s job, or playing politics. Those first-string guys were Smith’s receivers, as he saw it. It’s a little thing, of course. But I think it shows plenty about how conscientious Mahomes is.
His girlfriend is an alright follow on IG. I literally only follow her to keep tabs on my man. But she's occasionally not bad to look at, and their Pitbull named Steel is pretty adorable.
I admire Pat. He met her in HS. Went to TT, and was the man of the campus. Drafted to the NFL, etc. And still kept the same girl. That's some maturity.
The gosh darn Brett Favre comparisons just never end. [Reply]
